  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

    Groan, Groans, and Groaning

    Groan, Groans, and Groaning Life is full of pain, suffering and death. Each of us has our share of heartaches and hurts. Sometimes we groan under the load of suffering. In my daily ministry I see hundreds of poor people facing pain, poverty and suffering in Latin America. The word for groaning...

    From Despair to Hope

    From Despair to Hope It is almost uncanny how the poet describes the abandonment of the sufferer by God to the scorn of evil people who mocked Him. The Hebrew poet-king wrote, But I am a worm and not a man, A reproach of men and despised by the people. All who see me sneer at me; They...

    God Is An Eyewitness

    God Is An Eyewitness The final words of Jesus just before He ascended into heaven are a constant encouragement in my ministry and should be for every Christian. “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the...

    Evidences of the Death of Christ

    Evidences of the Death of Christ The eyewitness John keenly observed two unusual things that happen at the crucifixion of Jesus. These facts made a deep impression on him as he watched the crucifixion taking place. The crucifixion took place on the day of preparation for the Passover festival...

    Infinite Love of God

    Infinite Love of God The Lord God has chosen to fully reveal Himself through His Son, Jesus Christ. He has done it in such a way that a finite mind might grasp the essential truth of God’s infinite being (Rom. 1:19-20). “No one has seen God at any time; the only begotten God who is in the...

    Are You in Adam or in Christ?

    Are You in Adam or in Christ? Charles Hodge asked a crucial question: “If God requires one thing, and we present another, how can we be saved? If He has revealed a method in which He can be just and yet justify the sinner, and if we reject that method and insist upon pursuing a different way...

    The Purpose of Miracles

    The Purpose of Miracles The more you know about Jesus and the longer you live with Him the more you know that no human category can contain Him. He is God with us. Jesus said, “The very work that the Father has given Me to finish and which I am doing testifies that the Father has sent Me”...

    Satisfied Faith

    Satisfied Faith Faith is simply taking God at His word and then acting on it. Jesus said, “Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed” (John 20:29b). These words are for you and me because we have not seen Him in the days of His incarnation. Jesus is not suggesting faith...

    Saved By His Life

    Saved by His Life We shall be saved by His life” (Rom. 5:10). These words give us encouragement for difficult days when tempted by forces beyond ourselves, but let’s be clear as to what these words of the apostle Paul do not mean. “Saved by His life” does not imply that salvation comes from...
